On Sunday night Justin Timberlake, in a skit alongside pal and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, declared he "has the time" to do 2018's Super Bowl halftime show. While Fallon and Timberlake boyishly jumped with glee about the opportunity, the Internet is reacting very differently to the singer's announcement.

Timberlake's appearance at Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018, in Minneapolis, will mark 14 years since the pop star's last NFL performance, which notoriously ended with a "wardrobe malfunction" in which Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's right breast. Jackson, unfortunately, bared the brunt of the "nipplegate" controversy following. While both Jackson and Timberlake were reportedly banned from future performances by the NFL (clearly that didn't stick for the later), Jackson was also uninvited from that year's Grammys, and her music videos were essentially blacklisted by Viacom's properties, Rolling Stonereports. Meanwhile, Timberlake not only attended the 2004 awards show but won several awards, and, as you could guess, his videos continued playing on TRL and other MTV shows.

In 2014 former FCC chairman Michael Powell even admitted to the vilification of Jackson for the incident. "I personally thought that was really unfair. It all turned into being about her," Powell said at the time. "In reality, if you slow the thing down, it's Justin ripping off her breastplate."

Despite that, Timberlake being asked to return to the NFL stage is all the proof the Internet needed that men are continuously forgiven for their mistakes (if even accused of making a mistake) while women of color do not get that same consideration. Following Timberlake's announcement, Twitter was in an uproar demanding Timberlake use the opportunity to apologize to Jackson or give her another opportunity to perform.

"@jtimberlake still ensuring white privilege remains in style in 2017. Meanwhile, Janet Jackson is still left in the cold. My only request is that you don't perform any of the music inspired by her brother or any Black artist. You love our culture, but disrespect our people," journalist Ernest Owens tweeted.

"Why is Justin Timberlake being invited to perform again when Janet Jackson is banned for life for something that was entirely his fault 🙄," another Twitter user asked.

"The @NFL has invited @jtimberlake to Superbowl LII, but won’t remove their ban on @JanetJackson. This sexist racism has to stop," one person penned.
